Description
This wine is one of the best possible places to start if you're wandering into the wonderful land of white Burgundy.
Sourced from a selection of prime vineyard sites across Meursault—including notable parcels like Les Millerands, Sous la Velle, and Les Belles Côtes—this wine reflects the quality and precision that Leroux brings to all his cuvées. There’s also a touch of fruit from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, adding a layer of freshness and vibrancy.
What sets this Bourgogne Blanc apart is the level of care Leroux applies. The wine is matured in large oval-shaped casks and foudres, where it rests on its lees over winter, allowing the wine to build texture and complexity. The result is a Chardonnay that balances richness and finesse—a honeysuckle-scented nose gives way to a citrus-driven palate with notes of nougat, almond, and subtle minerality.
Unlike many generic Bourgogne Blancs, this wine benefits from being grown on the lower slopes of the Côte, where it enjoys a superior terroir beneath the village-level vines of Meursault. It’s a beautifully textured wine, offering both sweet, ripe fruit and a pithy, refreshing cut. The bright acidity and creamy structure make it both refreshing and satisfying, perfect for drinking now but with enough depth to evolve over the next few years.
Whether you’re new to Burgundy or a seasoned fan, this is an exceptional introduction to the region’s white wines—bursting with character and offering far more complexity than the label suggests.

"White nectarine and blossoms, mix of orchard fruit and almonds, woody spice, yoghurty creamy palate with nuttiness and grapefruit-cinnamon finish. A bit of cereal crunch. Pretty wine with a pretty flavour."
- Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)

Ordering
We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
- We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
- We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
- It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.
- It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.
We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.
At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!
No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.
We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.
To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you.
If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.
If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
